Stupidity is as American as baseball. This summer the World Series of Stupid has taken place at Fenway Park. Wednesday night a dim-witted band of social justice warriors unfurled a banner on the left field wall which read, &#x93;Racism is as American as baseball.&#x94; It took five of them to come up with that sad and mangled attempt at profundity. Many in the park wondered whether the sentiment was pro- or anti-racism. When CSNNE reporter Evan Drellich caught up with them, they expounded in an equally flaccid manner, saying, &#x93;We want to remind everyone that just as baseball is fundamental...The Boston Heraldhttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3586049/posts#commentFri, 15 Sep 2017 09:18:37 GMTRed Sox officially ban fan caught using racial slur at Fenway Parkhttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3550056/posts
The Boston Red Sox have had enough of the racial slurs being thrown around Fenway Park and are beginning to take action. According to a team press release on Wednesday, a fan has been permanently banned from Fenway Park after being caught directing a racial slur toward another person during Tuesday night&#x92;s game. The Boston Globe reported the incident happened immediately following the national anthem, which has been performed by a Kenyan woman. The report states a Red Sox fan wearing a team hat and T-shirt uttered a racial slur to describe the woman&#x92;s rendition of the anthem.Yahoo.comhttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3550056/posts#commentThu, 4 May 2017 13:04:25 GMTWoman still in hospital after being hit by broken bathttps://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3297524/posts

WASHINGTON -- Presidential candidate Chris Dodd dropped a fundraising pitch aimed straight at the heart of Red Sox Nation after Major League Baseball cried foul. It seems the Dodd campaign erred when it offered contributors a chance to win seats for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. All postseason tickets are apparently the property of Major League Baseball and the league does not allow such promotions.

After the soul-crushing loss to the New York Yankees, the game of baseball -- and the second-guessing of Little -- take priority in Red Sox Nation. But the business of baseball can never be far behind. Long after fans learn whether Little will be judged for a season of decisions or one decision to leave Pedro Martinez on the mound in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, the owners will be grappling with a decision about Fenway&#x27;s future.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
